undead

Definition

An undead or status of being undead is best described as a creature or person that has died in one way or another and has been returned to an animated or active form that has not restored true life to that creature or person.

There are a number of ways undead are created. Some ways include reanimation through magic, death through attacks by undead, the bite of an undead creature, or just a complete fluke of nature occurs. Mindless or not, undead are usually considered evil. They can be either turned, destroyed, rebuked, or commanded by clerics.
